>> how far are we from a release
Well, it depends. If we would not expect all to do items to be done in the 
first release, and just figure out what's the essential items to be done, then 
it's not far I guess. In my mind:
1. The left backend issues we're on-going;
2. Upcoming more end to end tests;
3. Javadocs for public APIs;
4. User doc and admin doc;
5. Web site;
6. Good manual tests for Kerby KDC and fixup;
7. More interop tests with AD and MIT Kerberos.
8. Maybe some found issues by checking styles and find bugs.

Any missing ones? Thanks.

Regards,
Kai

Subject: Re: state of KDC

Thanks a lot !

what is needed, too, is a "state of the union" report for Kerby :
- who is active
- who is a potential committer
- how far are we from a release

Kiran has to fill a report for the project at the beginning of next week 
(quaterly report sent to the Apache Board) and this information are very useful.
